Communications & Community Engagement

Buncombe County Communications Office ensures that information about county news, programs and services from our 30 departments and elected officials moves quickly and accurately to the public, employees and news organizations.

Public Information Officer

Our goal is to make it easy and efficient for citizens and/or the media to request public information.

We have a dedicated Public Information Officer who handles all of these requests making sure that the right person is consulted for the information and that a response is made as timely as possible. If you would like to make a request for public information, sometimes referred to as a public records request or a Freedom of Information Request (FOIA), please do so through our Records & Media Requests contact form and we will get back to you as quickly as possible.
